✨ Breathwork Evening | Friday 6th March ✨

Join me for a deeply calming evening where we’ll step out of the rush and into stillness. This breathwork session is a chance to pause, unwind the body, and gently come back to yourself.

Through guided breath and rest, we’ll create space to regulate the nervous system, release stored tension, and reconnect with what’s present for you, exactly as you are.

📍 Balance Yoga & Pilates, Castleblayney
🗓 Friday, 6th March
⏰ 8:00 – 9:30 pm (new time)

I’d love to welcome you into this supportive, grounding space and guide you through a practice that’s both soothing and quietly powerful, for your body, your breath, and your inner world.

If you’re craving an evening of calm, clarity, and deep nourishment, this is your invitation ✨

Questions welcome, just pop me a message 🤍

Hello 🤍

It has been a while since I've done one of these... so if you're new here, thank you🌸

I’m Colette 👋🏻 Nutritional & Holistic Therapist, Yogi, former Home Ec & Religion teacher, lifelong learner (definitely a bit of a nerd 🤓) and someone who deeply believes that science and spirituality belong together. For a long time I felt I had to choose between the two… now I know they’re meant to be woven together, and that’s exactly how I work.

I’m very much an in-person person. I love real conversations, shared space, and genuine connection. I run a nutritional clinic supporting women of all ages - from menstrual and hormonal challenges, to fertility concerns, perimenopause and menopause... My work goes far beyond food alone; it’s about nervous system support, feeling safe in your body, slowing down, and being deeply listened to 🤍 I adore sharing reiki, breathwork journeys and sound baths.

Teaching has always been part of who I am. 🌸 Blossom 🌸 grew from my years in the classroom and my own personal and clinical journey... the education I wish we all had growing up. I run Mum & Daughter Blossom retreat days (truly beyond special ✨), and I'm so lucky to have the opportunity to travel the length and breadth of the country delivering Blossom workshops to so many incredible teenagers in schools. My dream is to see proper menstrual education on our curriculum one day and I’ll continue working towards that, regardless of how many doors I have to knock on.

Thank you for being here and for supporting my work 💗 it genuinely means so much. Even though I’m more of an in-person human, I’m always happy to connect here too and my DMs are open if you ever need support or just want to say hello. Some really beautiful connections have come from this space, and I’m so grateful for that.

✨ “What form of magnesium should I be taking?” ✨

I get asked this all the time... so here’s a little breakdown on why magnesium matters and how to choose the right form for YOU👇🏻

💛 Why magnesium is so important
Magnesium is involved in 300+ enzymatic reactions and plays a key role in energy, hormones, nerves & relaxation.

✔️Supports muscle & nerve function
✔️Helps make protein, bone & DNA
✔️Regulates blood sugar & blood pressure
✔️Acts as an electrolyte (fluid balance)
✔️Supports digestion & energy production
✔️Boosts GABA → calm, relaxation & better sleep

⚠️ Why so many people are deficient
Even with a “healthy” diet, magnesium intake is often low due to:
🚫 Food processing
🚫 Depleted soils
🚫 Chronic stress & nervous system overload
🚫Digestive upset e.g. leaky gut, intolerances, poor absorption
🚫 Caffeine, alcohol & blood sugar imbalance.

💊 It's important to remember that not all magnesium is the same
Magnesium is bound to different carriers, and each form behaves differently in the body.

Which one should you choose?
✅ Magnesium glycinate - relaxation, anxiety & pain
✅ Magnesium citrate - constipation & sleep
✅ Magnesium taurate - calming & circulation
✅ Magnesium malate - energy & digestion
✅ Magnesium threonate - memory & learning
✅ Magnesium chloride - topical use

⚠️ Important note
More isn’t better.
The wrong form, dose, or timing can cause diarrhoea, cramping, nausea, or excessive relaxation.

✨ Always seek professional guidance before supplementing or need nutritional support and advice? Get in touch by following the link in my bio

(My personal favourites: Magnesium glycinate & citrat, but everyone is different.)

Day 21 - Celebrate Your Body 🤍

Gratitude builds trust.
And trust changes the way we care for ourselves.

Your body is always working for you, even on the days it feels heavy, painful, or uncooperative.
❤️It breathes for you.
❤️It heals in ways you’ll never fully see.
❤️It carries you through every single day.

Todays message feels especially important to me... Tomorrow was meant to be the start of me stepping away from work for a week or two, not for a holiday, but to prioritise my health (I may share down the road - but for now, I'll continue to keep my private life offline). And it’s made me reflect on how often we take our bodies for granted… until something forces us to stop. So tomorrow instead of being at that appointment, I've planned a day to celebrate me in my own way🫶🏻

✨️Why is it that we only listen when whispers turn into shouts?
✨️Why do we wait until we feel unwell before we pay attention?

Over the past 3+ years, I’ve learned just how much the body can hold.
Mine has carried me through life changing grief.
Through the effects of PTSD from narcissistic abuse.
Through the fear and reality of finding a lump.

And still, it shows up for me. Every. Single. Day.

So today's message isn’t about control, fixing, or pushing.
It’s about shifting the relationship from criticism to care.
From taking to thanking🙏🏻

What if we celebrated our bodies daily, not for how they look, but for what they endure, protect us from, and continue to do for us??? Aging... but aging healthy really is a privilege.

✨ How can you show gratitude for your body today?
✨ What is one thing you can thank it for?

Day 20 - Evening Phone Curfew 🌙📵

Time to tuck your phone in before you go to bed (just not under your pillow🫣)

Try switching off screens 60 minutes before sleep and see what happens.
Your body might thank you with:
📵Better melatonin vibes (those blue lights really do impact melatonin production)
📵Cosier, deeper sleep
📵A calmer, happier nervous system

Even a tiny screen break can make a big difference.

📵 Be honest... does this sound easy… or mildly terrifying?
Could you put your phone aside by 8/9pm every night???

🌸 Blossom is coming to Clare and the surrounding counties 🌸

From February 23rd–27th, we’ll be in Clare and nearby areas, offering menstrual education workshops and talks for primary & post-primary students. If you’re a teacher or work with young people in County Clare or neighbouring counties, I’d love to connect and explore whether this might be useful for your school or group.

✨️Former post-primary teacher with almost 20 years of classroom experience

Colette brings both professional experience and a deep understanding of what young people are navigating today. Each session is shaped with care, inclusivity, and sensitivity, creating a space where students can learn, ask questions, and feel supported.

Workshops can explore topics such as:
🌸 Understanding the menstrual cycle in a clear, inclusive way
🌸 Menstrual products & choices
🌸 Common conditions including PMS, PCOS & endometriosis
🌸 Nutrition, movement & mindfulness to support wellbeing

Sessions are suitable for Junior Cycle, Transition Year, and Senior Cycle, along with primary school students also.

Day 18 - 5 Minutes of Silence
Integration time

No music.
No podcast.
No scrolling.
No input.

Just five minutes of silence.

As this challenge lands on a Sunday evening, this is the perfect pause before a new week begins. A gentle switching-off point. A moment to let the noise of the week settle instead of carrying it forward. A moment to Winter - especially if your weekend has been jam-packed.

This might look like:
❤️Sitting quietly and noticing your breath
❤️Lying down with your hand on your chest or belly
❤️Using yesterday’s practice intentionally, but without guidance
❤️Staring out of the window
❤️Letting your thoughts come and go without engaging

No fixing. No analysing. No improving.
Just allowing.

Even five minutes can:
🪷Reduce overstimulation
🪷Settle a busy mind
🪷Support intuition and inner clarity
🪷Help your body shift out of “doing” and into “being”

If you notice the urge to reach for your phone, that’s part of the practice.
Instead of doom scrolling, choose presence.

🧘‍♀️ There’s no right experience here... just awareness.

Day 17 - Hand on Heart
A signal of safety... the irony of this landing today after a day spent holding space in Mo Chuisle, and I'm so privileged to have shared a space so close to my heart with you all✨️

❤️Place one hand on your heart
and one on your belly.
❤️Close your eyes if that feels comfortable.
❤️Take a slow breath in through your nose…
and gently exhale through your mouth.
❤️Feel the warmth of your hands.
Notice the rise and fall of your breath.
❤️Silently say to yourself:
“In this moment, I am safe" and tune into your heartbeat.

This simple practice can:
Calm the nervous system, and
Encourage grounding🌿

Touch is a powerful form of reassurance, a reminder that you are here, supported, and held. There is no need for complicated practices or meditation styles. A simple return home, an inner connection, and a reassurance is sometimes all we need❤️✨️
